Make time for special people

One never knows how a day will unfold, and that's what makes life so extraordinary.

Yesterday while working out I get a text from a VERY dear friend asking if I am working? Fortunately, I was and got a chance to see my 'sister!' Yea, I luv ya Monina!

Then what began as getting an oil change and light fixed the next day turned into one of the best days!

I always go back out to my dealership in Portage County for my oil changes because they are wonderful people....I take them treats....and then I pop into see the guy who sold me my car and take him treats as well!


Plus, the drive quite relaxing with the wind blowing through my hair jamming to my favorite tunes --flavor of the week this week: Train!


For the 1st time ever, they were really backlogged so I had to wait 1.5 hours. No worries.


I said my prayers, I relaxed, I chatted on the phone and sent a few texts.


Funny thing happened--the shop was so full I opted to read outside. As I was getting up from the concrete parking barrier, my white flip flop broke! Oh no, think fast, what to do?


Well, I did have 2 more pairs of shoes in my car --which was getting worked on.


How in the heck was I to get to the service desk without going totally barefoot and seeming very back country-ish?


Well, thinking 'what would Mom do?' I rifled through my purse and got out anything sticky!


Just before I was to go into the dealership again, I used some sticky female items to tack down my foot to the shoe as well as a few sticks of gum.....


Though it did not work as well as I'd hoped --it did the trick until I could get back to my finished car and swap flip flops!



What a funny situation. Loved it!


After my car was finished I spent much needed quality time with two people who mean much to me.



I did visit Kenny for a few minutes before I left the dealership....he said my beautiful eyes looked happy....he knows Mom and knows all I've been through over the last 17 months. He was so thrilled to see me (as I him) and was happy that I was progressing after our barage of tragedies.


The day only got better.....I was fortunate to visit with a very dear friend of mine who I have been playing 'tag' with --unable to get together. A weight lifted off my shoulders as I spent quality time with him, his dogs, and really spoke in person. No texts. No chats. No email. Person to person next to each other. It felt sooooo good. I really missed him.





His dogs love me --but what's not to like?!!!!!
